Accomplishments at WW. Crawford - Horn Thurman - Garcia, Porter, Guerrero, Chaves, Collazo, Karass, Bundu, Diaz, Zaveck, Quintana Spence - Brook, Peterson, Algieri, Bundu, Van Heerden, Lo Greco I see absolutely nothing wrong with my rankings.
Spence gon tear Crawford's ass up. Crawdaddy's my boy but he ain't ready for Spence. He thinks he is but Spence is gonna put it on him like he ain't never had it put on him.
This, Crawfords butt is going to get worked on. Spence can dish it out better than any other man Crawfish has encountered. Crawford cant take that pounding.
Thurman (if he ever comes out of retirement) Spence Porter Crawford and Garcia about the same level, Garcia is the only name fighter Crawford has a chance against at 147 and that's not a sure thing, even if Danny is way over the hill...................
Both Crawford and Spence Jr are superior to Thurman. I personally doubt Thurman will fight again. Danny Garcia has retired him.
Accomplishments at WW: Thurman Spence Jr Crawford Prediction as to current form: Spence Jr Crawford Thurman Unfortunately I think Thurman's lost his fire, if he ever got it back he could mix with or even beat the other two.
I do think he fights again for sure. However, I think people are going to be stunned by what the damage of inactivity, age, and major injury is going to do to him. I don't see him scoring more than one if any more wins of the quality of his Garcia and Porter victories. Shame too, as I was cool with Thurman... That said, Thurman does rank higher at 147 than the other two at the moment based on accomplishment within the division.
1. Manny - wins over JMM, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Bradley, Vargas, Clottey etc. and most people had him beating Jeffrey Horn which is an absolutely superb win especially given Manny's 38 years old and way, way, way past his best, and Horn was allowed to bring 5 weapons into the ring as opposed to the legal 2, and he did it over in Horn's backyard too where everything was heavily weighted in Horn's favour and against him. For me, Horn is Manny's best ever win.
